Slavery of Debt

In ten of thousands of homes, the general topic of conversation is poverty and want, and that is what they are getting.

The poverty consciousness is the result of the habit of thinking of and fearing poverty. "The thing I had feared has come upon me!"

Debt is a merciless master, a fatal enemy of the savings habit.

Poverty alone is sufficient to kill of ambition, destroy self confidence, and destroy hope, but add to it the burden of debt and all who are victims of these two cruel taskmasters are practically doomed to failure.

No one can carry out a definite purpose in life with heavy debt hanging over his head.

You are a human magnet and you are constantly attracting to you people which characters harmonize with your own.

No sacrifice is too great to avoid the misery of debt!

Two types of Debts
-Debts incurred for luxuries that become a dead loss
-Debts incurred in the course of professional or business trading which represent service or merchandise that can be converted back into assets.

The fear of poverty breaks down the will power of its victims and they then find themselves unable to restore their fortunes. What is still more sad, they lose all ambition to extricate themselves from the slavery of debt.

The person who is free from debt may whip poverty and achieve outstanding financial success, but, if bound by debt, such achievement is only remote possibility and never a probability.

Fear of poverty is a negative, destruction state of mind. Moreover, one negative state of mind has a tendency to attract other similar state of minds.

Maximizing Your Profits with Scoring

SETTING YOUR MAXIMUM INTRADAY TRADING LOSS First things first: set a max intraday trading loss. There will be days when you just do not have it. Why do you think coaches pull their players when they are not playing well? They are more harmful on the field than off. When you are underperforming, you are hurting your team and your trading business. You need a system to yank yourself over to the bench. A stop loss is your answer. TRADING BASED UPON THE TIME OF DAY A good trader makes note of what time of day it is, when he trades most profitably, and adjusts his trading to fit such times. Your numbers at the end of the month will not reflect your true trading potential. Make the most trades with the most size during the trading periods that statistically are most profitable for you. Money saved during your weaker trading periods is money earned. Consistency The fact is that most trades you make will start working for you right away. But the new traders also hold stocks that are trading ag...

TIME

Time is the law of hypnotic  rhythm. The lapse of time required to give permanency to thought habits depends upon the object and the nature of thoughts. Time divides all thought habits into two classes, negative thoughts and positive thoughts. One's individual thoughts are of course constantly changing and being recombined to suit the individual's desires, but thoughts do not change from negative to positive or vice versa except throught voluntary effort on the part of the individual. Time penalizes the individual for all negative thoughts and rewards him for all positive thoughts, according to the nature and purpose of the thoughts. If one's dominating thoughts are negative, time penalizes the individual by building in his mind the habit of negative thinking and then proceeds to solidify this habit into "permanency," of course, refers to the natural life of the individual. In the strict sense of the term, nothing is permanent. Time converts thought habits into wh...

THE 4TH LAW Make It Satisfying

 The Cardinal Rule of Behavior Change Everyone said handwashing was important, but few people made a habit out of it. The problem wasn’t knowledge. The problem was consistency. We are more likely to repeat a behavior when the experience is satisfying. This is entirely logical. Feelings of pleasure—even minor ones like washing your hands with soap that smells nice and lathers well—are signals that tell the brain: “This feels good. Do this again, next time.” Pleasure teaches your brain that a behavior is worth remembering and repeating.  Conversely, if an experience is not satisfying, we have little reason to repeat it. In my research, I came across the story of a woman who had a narcissistic relative who drove her nuts. In an attempt to spend less time with this egomaniac, she acted as dull and as boring as possible whenever he was around. Within a few encounters, he started avoiding her because he found her so uninteresting. Stories like these are evidence of the Cardinal Rule...
